General Description
The Smart Grid Technologies Training System combines a modular design approach with computer-based data
acquisition and control to provide unrivaled training in smart grid technologies. The system features the FourQuadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960, and the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model
9063, two state-of-the-art USB peripherals that greatly enhance the learning experience of students.
Training begins with the Home Energy Production course. This course familiarizes students with the
fundamentals of home energy production from renewable resources such as wind and sunlight. It covers both
stand-alone home energy production and grid-tied home energy production. The course also explains and
demonstrates how home energy production is an important contributor to the implementation of a smart grid.
Students then continue with the following three courses dealing with smart grid technologies:
These courses introduce students to the fundamentals of SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems.
Students learn that SVCs and STATCOMs, which are examples of flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS), can
be used in conjunction with HVDC transmission systems to greatly enhance the controllability and power
transfer capability of a power network and are thus essential tools to the implementation of a smart grid. These
courses also allow students to experiment with actual SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems
implemented with power electronics modules.
The Smart Grid Technologies Training System is part of the Electric Power Technology Training Systems, Series
8010. Each training system in Series 8010 is based on the Electric Power Technology Training Program and
provides a turn-key solution dealing with some aspects of the wide field of electrical energy. The exhaustive
courseware provided with each training system covers all the theory required to perform the laboratory
exercises, while review questions and unit tests allow students to test the knowledge they have gained.
The Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly modular in both courseware and hardware. Because
of this, courses and equipment from the program are available as required, either individually or in the context
of a specific training system. The program covers several different subjects in the field of electrical energy, such
as rotating machines, electrical power transmission, power electronics, home energy production from
renewable resources (wind and sunlight), large-scale electricity production from hydropower and wind power,
smart-grid technologies (SVC, STATCOM, HVDC transmission, etc.), storage of electrical energy in batteries, and
drive systems for small electric vehicles and cars.

Courseware
Each course in the training system includes a full-color student manual providing all the theoretical matter
required, guided lab-exercise procedures to be performed with the training equipment, and review questions
that test the knowledge gained by the student. Whenever possible, each course is built to bring the student to
actual applications as soon as possible. A full-color instructor guide providing all lab results and answers to
questions is also included with each course.
Festo Didactic
The modular approach for designing the training program and lab equipment enables instructors to start
building their electrical-energy laboratory with a basic package of courses and equipment and add new courses
and equipment over time without needless duplication of equipment.
All lab equipment consists of modules that can be inserted into a workstation. Module dimensions vary
between two standard EMS sizes: full-size and half-size. Symbols and diagrams representing the electrical
components in each module are clearly silk-screened on the front panel. Standard, color-coded safety banana
jacks are used to provide access to the various components in each module.
Festo Didactic
The training system teaches the principles behind certain key technologies allowing the implementation of a smart
grid. These technologies include home energy production, SVCs, STATCOMs, and HVDC transmission systems.
Realistic control functions implemented using the Data Acquisition and Control Interface via the LVDAC-EMS software
allow the implementation of complex devices such as an SVC and a STATCOM directly in the laboratory.
The course curriculum of the Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly flexible and allows a multitude of
different customized training solutions.
The courseware includes student manuals and instructor guides with all the theory required to perform the hands-on
experiments.
All workstations, modules, and components are sturdy and protected against electrical damage to ensure a
prolonged service life in a demanding environment such as a training laboratory.
The modular design approach of the training equipment allows a large variety of courses to be performed using a
small number of modules, without unnecessary duplication of equipment.
All electrical components can be interconnected without electric shock hazard since all live parts of the connection
leads are concealed and insulated.
All electrical symbols representing the components used in a laboratory exercise are clearly silk-screened on the
front panel of the modules.
The training system also includes four highly versatile power electronics modules controlled using the Data
Acquisition and Control Interface:
SVC Reactors/Thyristor Switched Capacitors, Model 8334. This module is used to implement the TCR and TSCs for
SVC operation.
Insulated DC-to-DC Converter, Model 8835. This module is used to implement a solar/wind power inverter with HF
transformer topology.
+ IGBT Chopper/Inverter, Model 8837-B. This module is used to implement the solar/wind power inverter for home
energy production and the three-phase PWM rectifier/inverter for STATCOM operation.
Power Thyristors, Model 8841. This module is used to implement the TCR and TSCs for SVC operation and the
thyristor converters for HVDC operation.
Software upgrades for LVDAC-EMS and firmware upgrades for the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply and
Data Acquisition and Control Interface are available for download free of charge on the Festo Didactic website.

Model 8110-2, but has no storage cabinet or pull-out work surface. This workstation is intended for use on a
bench (not supplied) and is fitted with wooden feet to protect the bench top. Alternatively, this workstation can
be mounted on either a Mobile Storage Cabinet, Model 89117-1, to make a Mobile Workstation, Model 8110-2,
or on a Mobile Base, Model 88863, to make a mobile workstation without storage cabinet. In that case, it is
possible to mount and lock a second Workstation, Model 8134-2, on top of the first Workstation to double the
space available for EMS modules.
The Workstation consists of three rows of compartments designed to house EMS modules. Two of these rows
have full-height compartments while the other row has half-height compartments. Each row of full-height
compartments can accommodate up to three full-size EMS modules or six half-size EMS modules whereas the
row of half-height compartments can accommodate up to three half-size EMS modules.

IGBT Chopper/Inverter
8837-B5
The IGBT Chopper/Inverter module consists of seven insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBT) mounted in a
half-size EMS module. Six IGBTs are used to implement choppers and inverters. These IGBTs are protected
against a variety of abnormal operating conditions, such as short-circuits, overvoltage, overcurrent, and
overheat. The seventh IGBT and a dumping resistor allow smooth dissipation of excess energy at the dc bus.
The dumping circuit can be activated through the use of a toggle switch on the front panel.
The module switching control section allows 0/5 V pulse signals from either the Data Acquisition and Control
Interface, Model 9063, the Chopper/Inverter Control Unit, Model 9029, or any compatible 0/5 V control unit, to
be applied to the gating circuits of the IGBTs. The signals are input in the IGBT Chopper/Inverter module
through a nine-pin connector.
Six miniature banana jacks can be used as test points to monitor the pulse signals using an oscilloscope. These
jacks can also be used to inject 0/5 V pulse signals from an alternate control unit, as well as to inhibit each
gating circuit. The IGBT Chopper/Inverter module also includes a synchronization output to trigger an
oscilloscope when observing the switching control signals, as well as a switching control disable input that
allows all six IGBTs in the chopper/inverter section to be switched off.

external connections, the most typical thyristor configurations can be achieved through the use of two toggle
switches on the front panel.
A firing control section allows six 0-5 V pulse signals from either the Data Acquisition and Control Interface,
Model 9063, the Thyristor Firing Unit, Model 9030, or any compatible 0-5 V control unit, to be applied to the
gating circuits of the thyristors. The signals are input in the Power Thyristors module through a nine-pin
connector.
Six miniature banana jacks in this section are used as test points to monitor the firing control signals using an
oscilloscope. They can also be used to inject 0-5 V pulse signals from an alternate firing unit, as well as to
inhibit each gating circuit. The Power Thyristors module also includes a synchronization output to trigger an
oscilloscope when observing the firing control signals as well as a firing control disable input that prevents all
six power thyristors from being fired.

The Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is a highly versatile USB peripheral designed to be used in the
Electric Power Technology Training Systems. Two operating modes are available: Dynamometer and Power
Supply. A wide variety of user-selectable functions is available in each operating mode.
In the Dynamometer mode, the unit becomes a four-quadrant dynamometer that can act as either a fully
configurable brake (i.e., a mechanical load) or a fully configurable prime mover (i.e., a motor drive). In the
Power Supply mode, the unit becomes a four-quadrant power supply that can act as a dc voltage source, dc
current source, ac power source, etc.
In each operating mode, key parameters related to the selected function are displayed. Speed, torque,
mechanical power, and energy are displayed in the Dynamometer mode while voltage, current, electrical power,
and energy are displayed in the Power Supply mode. Optional functions, such as a small wind-turbine emulator,
a hydraulic turbine emulator, a solar panel emulator, battery chargers, an SDK (Software Development Kit) etc.,
can be added to the standard functions to further enhance the training possibilities of the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply.
Two modes are available to control the function which the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply
performs: Manual and Computer-Based.
In the Manual control mode, the module operates as a stand-alone unit, and the function performed is selected,
set, and monitored using front-panel mounted controls and display. This mode provides access to all basic
functions. In the Computer-Based control mode, the function performed by the module is selected, set, and
monitored using the LVDAC-EMS software. In this mode, communication between the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply and the host computer running the LVDAC-EMS software is achieved through a
USB connection. This mode provides access to all basic functions, as well as to additional advanced functions.
Model 8960-G includes the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960-2, with the following

The Data Acquisition and Control Interface (DACI) is a versatile USB peripheral used for measuring, observing,
analyzing, and controlling electrical and mechanical parameters in electric power systems and power
electronics circuits. For these purposes, a set of computer-based instruments as well as a variety of control
functions are available for the DACI. These instruments and control functions are accessed through the LVDACEMS software. The LVDAC-EMS software, as well as all available upgrades, is free and can be downloaded
anytime on the Festo Didactic website.
Together, the DACI and the LVDAC-EMS software allow training in various areas such as electric power
technology, ac/dc machines, renewable energy, transmission lines, and power electronics using modern and
versatile measuring instruments and control functions. LVDAC-EMS also offers the possibility to use pre-built
SCADA interfaces for several applications to ease the view and understanding of the process taking place. The
user guide provided allows students to quickly become familiar with the instruments and control functions
available.
Model 9063-0 includes only the DACI, Model 9063, with no control function set activated. This enables the user
to customize the DACI by individually picking the computer-based instruments and control function sets that he
wants to activate in the DACI.
Alternately, variant 9063-0 is also used in several courses as an extension module. This means that it is used in
conjunction to another DACI in which particular control function sets are activated. Both DACIs are connected to
a single computer running LVDAC-EMS. When used in such a way, variant 9063-0 shares all control function sets
activated in the other DACI. For example, if the Computer-Based Instrumentation Function, Model 9069-1, and
the Three-Phase PWM Rectifier/Inverter Control Function Set, Model 9069-5, are activated in the other DACI,
these function sets will also be available in variant 9063-0. This enables the user to perform courses requiring
the use of more than one DACI without having to activate the same control function sets in all DACIs.

The Wind Turbine Generator/Controller mainly consists of the generator and controller of an actual small-scale
wind turbine, mounted in a full-size EMS module. The module also includes auxiliary components (a threephase diode rectifier and a set of three power resistors) that can be used to apply a variable electric load to the
generator. Color-coded, 4 mm safety banana jacks mounted on the front panel of the module provide access to
the generator windings, controller input and output, diode rectifier, and power resistors.
The generator in the Wind Turbine Generator/Controller is a three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous
generator. The controller is a power electronics device that converts the three-phase power produced by the
generator into dc power and ensures that the generator produces the maximum amount of power possible at
any wind speed within the operating range.
The controller also performs voltage regulation to maintain a constant dc voltage output and prevents
overcharging of the battery pack used to store the electrical energy produced by the wind turbine generator. A
control knob on the module front panel allows the maximum charge voltage to be adjusted. A LED on the
module front panel indicates the status (normal battery charging, voltage regulation, etc.) of the controller.
Battery charging can be stopped anytime through a switch on the front panel.

The Turbine Emulator control function set is a package of control functions that can be activated in the FourQuadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960-2, enabling the module to emulate the operation of various
types of turbines.
The control functions in the set are only available in computer-based mode. This means that the function
performed by the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is selected, set, and monitored using the LVDACEMS software. The following control functions are available in the set:
Dynamometer operating mode
Small Wind-Turbine Emulator: this function makes the permanent-magnet dc motor of the Four-Quadrant
Dynamometer/Power Supply faithfully reproduce the effect of wind on the bladed rotor of a small-scale wind turbine.
The torque-speed characteristic at the shaft of the machine coupled to the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power
Supply is the same as the one that is obtained when wind blows at a certain speed on the rotor of the actual wind
turbine. The user has control over the wind speed and air density.
Hydraulic Turbine Emulator: this function uses the permanent-magnet dc motor of the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/
Power Supply to recreate the behavior of an hydraulic turbine with a synchronous generator. The torque-speed
characteristics at the shaft of the machine coupled to the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply is the same as
that of a Francis-type hydraulic turbine. The user has control over the vane angle (manually or through the module
analog input), the vane variation speed, and the inertia.
